Chapitre 426: By Far, The Most Interesting Thing

When Axel felt the shift in his bond with Alice, when he felt her weakened state, Bell was with him. She knew immediately that there was something wrong with Alice.

Axel had left in a hurry, and Bell couldn’t let go of her concern.

Alice wasn’t a friend, exactly, but she was family. So after Bell heard from Axel about Alice’s condition and after going through the records in Winter, Bell pushed Galen to get her access to the Summer records.

Once she was confident that her blood could be the answer, she, Galen, and Ren were on the road to Summer.

Galen, for his part, hardly put up a fight. But, of course, he was concerned about traveling when so many attacks were reported. Still, Bell could see from the first mention that he actually really wanted to go.

When they arrived, Galen took Bell to the hospital where Alice was being treated. But for the first time in their relationship, he didn’t insist on staying by her side.
